too aggressive?

This was played against someone I identified as a major donkey (making really stupid calls and getting lucky). Pot after pot he rivered three of a kinds, straights, flushes, you name it. I figured his luck would run out eventually. Then this hand came up: (I have QJs)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
Hero raises, 2 folds, MP1 calls, 2 folds, CO calls, 2 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, MP1 calls, CO calls, BB folds.

Turn: (5.75 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets, MP1 calls, CO raises, Hero 3-bets, MP1 folds, CO caps, Hero calls.

River: (14.75 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, CO raises, Hero 3-bets, CO caps, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 22.75 BB

(The donkey in CO had called my raise with J4o, and flopped a full house)

I was obviously disgusted by this hand. He hit a miracle flop YET AGAIN.

When you're up against this sort of player in this situation, are you better off just calling it down? Better safe than sorry? At which point should the warning bells have gone off? (they never went off - I was sure I had it)

When I run lucky I usually get greedy and push my luck and play junk hands. That's what I thought this guy was doing - he'd been having ridiculous over-the-top luck for the past hour and was just raising with anything to scare people out based on his card rack image. Guess I was wrong...

Just call the river raise.

This is basically a bad beat post which are viamently poo pooed here.

There are plenty of hands that beat you here KJ/AJ/J7/J4/44/77/AA. I understand the turn 3-bet but when you get capped it is trouble. Tilting is not good. You can become more of a donkey than the donkey you lose to.

Cool down man. That was his first post.

No way I cap here on the river... After he caps me on the turn I'm suspecting A/J. Call it down on the river and be done with it.

I didn't viamently poo poo (I love typing poo poo) his post, I just was warning him others might.

The preflop raise UTG w/ QJs is a little (lot) iffy, I think.

Fold preflop (or limp on loose tables).

I'd call the river raise, as I'd really hate to get capped.

If you believe in this, you are the last person that should be ridiculing others and calling them donkeys.
